Jesus vs. High Priests After Temple Cleansing | The Chosen S5 E3

In The Chosen Season 5 Episode 3, Jesus calls the temple a “den of thieves” and faces off with the High Priests (Mark 11:17). 🙌 See God’s truth—#BingeJesus!

Transcript Highlights:
(00:00:31,567 --> 00:00:37,668): "Is it not written that my house should be called the House of Prayer for all nations. But you make it a den of thieves!"
Mark 11:17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

(00:00:42,129 --> 00:00:45,687): "Zeal for your house shall consume me..."
John 2:17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
(Note: The latter part, “this man is volatile,” is a dramatized addition.)

(00:00:57,774 --> 00:01:01,160): "No more purchased animals or sacrifices are to be brought."
Mark 11:15 And Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves.
(Note: Paraphrased, summarizing Jesus’ actions.)

(00:01:20,755 --> 00:01:23,730): "By whose authority do you do this?"
Mark 11:28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?

(00:01:26,050 --> 00:01:27,179): "My own."
(No direct verse match; likely a dramatized summary of Jesus’ implied authority, as He responds indirectly in Mark 11:29-30.)

Commentary: Most dialogue is from Mark 11:15-17, 28, and John 2:17, like “My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer” and “By what authority doest thou these things?” The Chosen writers added lines like “this man is volatile” and “heresy He has no authority here!” for dramatic tension and simplified “My own” for Jesus’ authority.
